I'm an expert on the Sim City trading card game! Clint will love it despite it's meh gameplay. The art is all made with actual Polaroid photos of buissnesses and houses of 1990-1994.

Either that or they picked two or three of the best levels in a game. I bought James Pond, Robocop on the strength of the demo, and got bored with the real game before I got to the levels I enjoyed so much in the demo.

Or even full scenarios not in the full game, like AOE1.

As someone who has worked in a packaging capacity in the past, not only are they they worst to deal with they are also garbage for their actual purpose of protecting what you are shipping since your item will settle to the bottom of the box providing no protection from the bottom.
